Lately, there is a lot of conversations about ghosting. If you might wonder, Ghosting is a term given to a situation where someone suddenly disappeared after hitting his/her crush, without any explanation.

Having understood Ghosting, I’d like to introduce you to another 8 terms to describe your current relationship. Let me know, in which situation are you right now.

is a situation where someone has a relationship with his/her partner, without letting his/her family and/or friends know about it.

2. Haunting
